I think publicly funded elections are a bad idea, but they just might beat what we have now.

Cap'n, if you'd bothered to organize the workers in all those meatpacking plants you've worked in, America's unionization rate would be back up over 50%. The NLRB couldn't keep up. You're the second coming of Samuel fucking Gompers.

We saw this when he ran against McCain. Said he would accept public funding if his competitor did, which McCain was all set to, only to have Obama lie on that promise as well.

I've been reading my Burke and have learned that things like rights and success are derived from inheritance. Generational wealth is to be celebrated, democracy is to be questioned. but never the ruling elite as they have power for a reason...or something like that.
I think you and Gannon and I should form the Elitist Party of the United States!
